Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (including the legend on the face hereof) (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Warrant Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a Warrant Holder of a Warrant.
2
b. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrant Holder to the office of the Company specified in or pursuant to Section 9 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder.

a. Upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto duly completed and signed to the Company, at its address set forth in Section 9, and upon payment and delivery of the Exercise Price per Warrant Share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Warrant Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in lawful money of the United States of America, in cash or by certified or official bank check or checks, to the Company, all as specified by the Warrant Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 10 business days after the Date of Exercise [as defined herein]) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Warrant Holder and in such name or names as the Warrant Holder may designate (subject to the restrictions on transfer described in the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant), a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, with such restrictive legend as imposed by the Company in accordance with the 1933 Act. Any person so designated by the Warrant Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant.
b. A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Company shall have received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Warrant Holder to be purchased.
c. This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time for such number of Warrant Shares as is indicated in the attached Form of Election To Purchase. If less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant.
d. (i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the holder of this Warrant may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
3
Net Number = (A x (B — C))/B
| (ii) | For purposes of the foregoing formula: |
| A= | the total number shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised. |
| B= | the last reported sale price (as reported by Bloomberg) of the Common Stock on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice. |
| C= | the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect at the time of such exercise. |
e. The holder of this Warrant agrees not to elect for a period of one (1) year a Cashless Exercise. The holder of this Warrant also agrees not to elect a Cashless Exercise so long as there is an effective registration statement for the shares underlying this Warrant.
6. Call by the Company. This Warrant may be called by the Company at any time for a period of one (1) year following the date one hundred and eighty-five (185) days after the Issue Date if the closing public market price per share of the Company’s common stock is equal to or in excess of the callable price of $.50 per share for a period of twenty (20) consecutive days and there is an effective Registration Statement covering the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant (“Automatic Exercise”) during such twenty (20) consecutive day period. Upon occurrence of the Automatic Exercise, the Company shall provide the Holder with notice of such Automatic Conversion (“Automatic Exercise Notice”). Upon receipt of the Automatic Exercise Notice, the Holder must (i) exercise, in whole or in part, this Warrant within ten (10) days; or (ii) notify the Company of its intent to transfer this Warrant pursuant to Section 4 of this Warrant. In the event that the Warrant Holder elects to transfer this Warrant pursuant to Section 4 of this Warrant, then the subsequent Warrant Holder shall be required to exercise this Warrant on or before the twentieth (20th) business day after notification of intent to transfer this Warrant. Upon any such exercise, the Warrant Holder must deliver to the Company on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the required date, (i) the Form of Election to Purchase properly executed and completed by the Warrant Holder (ii) consideration, in an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Automatic Exercise Notice, and (iii) this Warrant. If the Warrant Holder does not exercise this Warrant within twenty (20) business days from receipt of the Automatic Exercise Notice or, in the event that this Warrant has been transferred pursuant to Section 4 of this Warrant, the subsequent Warrant Holder does not exercise this Warrant within thirty (30) days after notification of intent to transfer this Warrant, then this Warrant will expire.
7. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The character of the shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefore, are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the following events, and all such adjustments shall be cumulative:
a. Adjustment for Stock Splits, Certain Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, Etc. The Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted and readjusted as necessary to reflect any stock split, combination of shares, stock dividend (other than one charged to earnings of the Company), reclassification, recapitalization, or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of stock or securities.
4
b. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation, merger or reorganization (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a “Reorganization”), then, in each case, the Warrant Holder, upon exercise hereof at any time after the consummation or effective date of such Reorganization (the “Effective Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the shares of stock or other securities at any time issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to the Effective Date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which the Warrant Holder would have been entitled upon the Effective Date if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).
c. Certificate as to Adjustments. In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the price or kind of securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will promptly give written notice thereof to the Warrant Holder in the form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
d. The Company fails to meet certain 2004 earnings per share projections. In the event the Company earns between $.036 and $.000001 per share (where such earnings in this paragraph shall always be defined as earnings on a pretax primary shares outstanding basis as reported for the fiscal year ended December 31st 2004 from recurring operations before any non-recurring items), then, and in such event, the Exercise Price shall be reduced proportionately by 0% if the earnings are $.036 per share and by 90% if the earnings are $.000001 per share or less. By way of example, if the Company earns $.023 per share, or 50% below $.036 per share, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced in accordance with this provison by 50%. Any such reduction shall be made at the time the December 31st 2004 financial results are reported and shall be made based on then Exercise Price (as may have been adjusted on a cumulative basis through such date). In the event the Company earns below $.000001, or has a loss, the warrant exercise price shall be reduced by 90%.
e. The Company sells, grants or issues any shares, options, warrants, or any instrument convertible into shares or equity in any form below $.18 per share. In the event the Company sells any shares of Common Stock at a price less than $.18 per share, issues any convertible securities carrying a conversion price of less than $.18 per share, or grants any options or warrants carrying an exercise price of less than $.18 per share, then, and in such event,the Exercise Price shall be reduced proportionately on a weighted-average basis in relation to the number of shares sold, the number of shares any such convertible securities are convertible into, or the number of shares for which any such options or warrants are exercisable. Such reduction shall be made at the time such transaction is made, and shall be cumulative upon any other changes to the exercise of the Warrant that may already have been made.
5
f. The Company fails to show at least $1.1 million in extraordinary profits from debts being retired. In the event the Company fails to show at least $1.1 million in cumulative extraordinary profits from debts being retired at discounts during the quarters ending June 30, 2004 and September 30th, 2004, the Exercise Price shall be reduced by seventy percent (70%). Such reduction shall be made at the time such transaction is made, and shall be cumulative upon any other changes to the exercise of the Warrant that may already have been made.

XXXXXX.XXX INC., a company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, Xxxxxx Partners LP, a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, or its registered permitted assigns (the “Warrant Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company up to ten million nine hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred (10,937,500) shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each, a “Warrant Share” and, collectively, the “Warrant Shares”) at a price per Warrant Share of $0.60, as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 7 hereof (the “Exercise Price”) at any time and from time to time from and after _________, 2004 (the “Issue Date”), and through and including 5:00 p.m. New York City time on ___________, 2009 (the “Expiration Date”), and subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Warrant Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Warrant Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Warrant Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.
2. Investment Representation. The Warrant Holder by accepting this Warrant represents that the Warrant Holder is acquiring this Warrant for its own account for investment purposes and not with the view to any offering or distribution and that the Warrant Holder will not sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or the underlying Warrant Shares in violation of applicable securities laws. The Warrant Holder acknowledges that the certificates representing any Warrant Shares will bear a legend indicating that they have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and may not be sold by the Warrant Holder except pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and in accordance with federal and state securities laws. If this Warrant was acquired by the Warrant Holder pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act afforded by Regulation S thereunder, the Warrant Holder acknowledges and covenants that this Warrant may not be exercised by or on behalf of a Person during the one year distribution compliance period (as defined in Regulation S) following the date hereof. For purposes hereof, “Person” means an individual, partnership, firm, limited liability company, trust, joint venture, association, corporation, or any other legal entity.
3. Validity of Warrant and Issuance of Warrant Shares.

The Company further warrants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
4. Registration of Transfers and Exchange of Warrant.
a. Subject to compliance with the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant, the Company shall register the transfer by the Holder of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at the office specified in or pursuant to Section 9. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (including the legend on the face hereof) (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Warrant Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a Warrant Holder of a Warrant.
2
b. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrant Holder to the office of the Company specified in or pursuant to Section 9 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder. Any such New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange.
5. Exercise of Warrants.
a. Upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto duly completed and signed to the Company, at its address set forth in Section 9, and upon payment and delivery of the Exercise Price per Warrant Share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Warrant Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in lawful money of the United States of America, in cash or by certified or official bank check or checks, to the Company, all as specified by the Warrant Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 10 business days after the Date of Exercise [as defined herein]) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Warrant Holder and in such name or names as the Warrant Holder may designate (subject to the restrictions on transfer described in the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant), a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, with such restrictive legend as imposed by the Company in accordance with the 1933 Act. Any person so designated by the Warrant Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant.
b. A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Company shall have received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Warrant Holder to be purchased.
c. This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time for such number of Warrant Shares as is indicated in the attached Form of Election To Purchase. If less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant.
d. (i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the holder of this Warrant may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
3
| Net Number = (A x (B - C))/B (ii) For purposes of the foregoing formula: A= the total number shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised. B= the last reported sale price (as reported by Bloomberg) of the Common Stock on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice. C= the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect at the time of such exercise. |
e. The holder of this Warrant agrees not to elect for a period of one (1) year a Cashless Exercise. The holder of this Warrant also agrees not to elect a Cashless Exercise so long as there is an effective registration statement for the shares underlying this Warrant.
6. Call by the Company. This Warrant may be called by the Company at any time for a period of one (1) year following the date one hundred and eighty-five (185) days after the Issue Date if the closing public market price per share of the Company’s common stock is equal to or in excess of the callable price of $.60 per share for a period of twenty (20) consecutive days and there is an effective Registration Statement covering the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant (“Automatic Exercise”) during such twenty (20) consecutive day period. Upon occurrence of the Automatic Exercise, the Company shall provide the Holder with notice of such Automatic Conversion (“Automatic Exercise Notice”). Upon receipt of the Automatic Exercise Notice, the Holder must (i) exercise, in whole or in part, this Warrant within ten (10) days; or (ii) notify the Company of its intent to transfer this Warrant pursuant to Section 4 of this Warrant. In the event that the Warrant Holder elects to transfer this Warrant pursuant to Section 4 of this Warrant, then the subsequent Warrant Holder shall be required to exercise this Warrant on or before the twentieth (20th) business day after notification of intent to transfer this Warrant. Upon any such exercise, the Warrant Holder must deliver to the Company on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the required date, (i) the Form of Election to Purchase properly executed and completed by the Warrant Holder (ii) consideration, in an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Automatic Exercise Notice, and (iii) this Warrant. If the Warrant Holder does not exercise this Warrant within ten (10) days from receipt of the Automatic Exercise Notice or, in the event that this Warrant has been transferred pursuant to Section 4 of this Warrant, the subsequent Warrant Holder does not exercise this Warrant within twenty business (20) days after notification of intent to transfer this Warrant, then this Warrant will expire.
7. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The character of the shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefore, are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the following events, and all such adjustments shall be cumulative:
a. Adjustment for Stock Splits, Certain Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, etc. The Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted and readjusted as necessary to reflect any stock split, combination of shares, stock dividend (other than one charged to earnings of the Company), reclassification, recapitalization, or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of stock or securities.
4
b. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation, merger or reorganization (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a “Reorganization”), then, in each case, the Warrant Holder, upon exercise hereof at any time after the consummation or effective date of such Reorganization (the “Effective Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the shares of stock or other securities at any time issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to the Effective Date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which the Warrant Holder would have been entitled upon the Effective Date if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).
c. Certificate as to Adjustments. In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the price or kind of securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will promptly give written notice thereof to the Warrant Holder in the form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
d. The Company fails to meet certain 2004 earnings per share projections. In the event the Company earns between $.036 and $.000001 per share (where such earnings in this paragraph shall always be defined as earnings on a pretax primary shares outstanding basis as reported for the fiscal year ended December 31st 2004 from recurring operations before any non-recurring items), then, and in such event, the Exercise Price shall be reduced proportionately by 0% if the earnings are $.036 per share and by 90% if the earnings are $.000001 per share or less. By way of example, if the Company earns $.023 per share, or 50% below $.036 per share, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced in accordance with this provison by 50%. Any such reduction shall be made at the time the December 31st 2004 financial results are reported and shall be made based on then Exercise Price (as may have been adjusted on a cumulative basis through such date). In the event the Company earns below $.000001, or has a loss, the warrant exercise price shall be reduced by 90%.
e. The Company sells, grants or issues any shares, options, warrants, or any instrument convertible into shares or equity in any form below $.60 per share. In the event the Company sells any shares of Common Stock at a price less than $.60 per share, issues any convertible securities carrying a conversion price of less than $.60 per share, or grants any options or warrants carrying an exercise price of less than $.60 per share, then, and in such event,the Exercise Price shall be reduced proportionately on a weighted-average basis in relation to the number of shares sold, the number of shares any such convertible securities are convertible into, or the number of shares for which any such options or warrants are exercisable. Such reduction shall be made at the time such transaction is made, and shall be cumulative upon any other changes to the exercise of the Warrant that may already have been made.
5
f. The Company fails to show at least $1.1 million in extraordinary profits from debts being retired. In the event the Company fails to show at least $1.1 million in cumulative extraordinary profits from debts being retired at discounts during the quarters ending June 30, 2004 and September 30th quarter of 2004, the Exercise Price shall be reduced by seventy percent (70%). Such reduction shall be made at the time such transaction is made, and shall be cumulative upon any other changes to the exercise of the Warrant that may already have been made.
8. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares that shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrants Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 8, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, at its option, (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction, or (ii) round the number of Warrant Shares issuable, up to the next whole number.
9. Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) on the date they are delivered if delivered in person; (ii) on the date initially received if delivered by facsimile transmission followed by registered or certified mail confirmation; (iii) on the date delivered by an overnight courier service; or (iv) on the third (3rd) business day after it is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested with postage and other fees prepaid as follows:

OBLIGATIONS
2.1 “Registrable Shares” means, collectively, the Purchase Shares, any Warrant Shares duly issued to the Investor pursuant to Warrant A and Warrant B, and any shares issued pursuant to the exercise of any preemptive rights under Section 6.10 of the Stock Purchase Agreement. As to any particular Registrable Shares, such securities will cease to be Registrable Shares upon the earlier of the point, if at all, at which (a) they have been effectively registered under the 1933 Act and disposed of in accordance with the registration statement covering them, (b) they are or may be freely traded without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act (or any similar provisions that are then in effect), or (c) they have been otherwise transferred and new certificates for them not bearing a restrictive legend have been issued by the Company and the Company shall not have outstanding “stop transfer” instructions against them.
2.2 Initial Registration Obligation. Subject to the reasonable cooperation of the Investor, the Company shall (i) at its own expense, prepare and file with the SEC within sixty (60) days following the date hereof a registration statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”) covering, among other shares potentially, the resale of the Purchase Shares, and (ii) expeditiously apply its diligent good faith efforts thereafter to cause the Initial Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one hundred and fifty (150) days from the date of filing.
2.3 Subsequent Registration Obligations.
2.3.1 Subsequent Registration Statement. Subject to the reasonable cooperation of the Investor, within thirty (30) days following the date upon which it duly obtains the requisite authorization from its shareholders to increase its authorized number of common shares to an amount sufficient to enable it to lawfully issue and deliver the Warrant Shares, the Company shall at its own expense, either, at its option, (i) prepare and file with the SEC a subsequent registration statement (a “Subsequent Registration Statement”) covering the resale, among other shares potentially, of the Warrant Shares, (ii) amend the Initial Registration Statement as necessary so as to cover the Warrant Shares, or (iii) if the Initial Registration Stement can not be amended to cover all of the Warrant Shares, amend the Initial Registration Statement as necessary so as to cover as many Warrant Shares as practicable and prepare and file a Subsequent Registration Statement covering the resale, among other shares potentially, of the remaining Warrant Shares.

2.3.2 Incidental Registration Obligations.
2.3.2.1 Generally. Provided that any Registrable Securities have not been registered at any time after the date hereof but before the second anniversary of the date hereof, and the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act (other than by a registration in connection with an acquisition in a manner which would not permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public, on Form S-8, or any successor form thereto, on Form S-4, or any successor form thereto and other than pursuant to Section 2), on an underwritten basis (either best-efforts or firm-commitment), then, and in each such event, the Company will give prompt written notice to the Investor of its intention to do so and the Investor’s rights under this Section 2.3.2.1. Upon the written request of the Investor made within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Investor and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company will, subject to the terms of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the 1933 Act of the Registrable Securities, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of such Registrable Securities so to be registered, by inclusion of such Registrable Securities in the registration statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register, provided that if, at any time after written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason either not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Investor and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of this obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the registration expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to any other the rights of the Investor hereunder, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. No registration effected under this Section 2.3.2.1 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration upon request under Sections 2.2 or 2.3.1. The Company will pay all registration expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 2.3.2.1. |
2.3.2.2 Incidental Underwritten Offerings. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act as contemplated by Section 2.3.2.1 and such securities are to be distributed by or through one or more underwriters, the Company will, if requested by the Investor as provided in Section 2.3.2.1 and subject to the provisions of Section 2.3.2.3, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to arrange for such underwriters to include all the Registrable Securities to be offered and sold by the Investor among the securities to be distributed by such underwriters. |

5.5 Contribution.

The Company and the Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.5 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investor and any underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth herein, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.5, neither the Investor nor any underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (i) in the case of the Investor, the net proceeds received by the Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities or (ii) in the case of an underwriter, the total price at which the Registrable Securities purchased by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds, in any such case, the amount of any damages that the Investor or underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
